Main figures like warrior and taker are their own case of 3. Where as the rest of series 2 and 3 are 1 each in a case of 3. So hbk, Nash, hall and m$m, shango, and mankind are each 1 per case their series. So the stores end up flooded with Flairs and Brays and nobody can find Shango or Nash. More Mattel brilliance as always. Yeah it sucks. I can't find Nash. I wanna say when series 1 started shipping flair and Hogan had their own cases. And Bray and honky shared a case but now I think they added flair with Bray and honky. |

Was looking into getting some of the Masters of the WWE Universe 80s guys in anticipation of getting Savage & T but aftermarket prices are a little rough right now for them. Oh well...

The only one I’ve seen since series 1 is Taker. Everywhere is still flooded with Flair and Bray.

I also got the 1/22 to 4/19 email for Honky and Hogan. I still need a Flair preorder, even though I'm never confident Walmart will fulfill them.Same. I only preordered Hogan. The only other I wanted was Flair but if I remember correctly he was sold out at the time. Philly area Walmarts have the Flair, Hogan, Warrior, HonkyTonk, Bray, Mankind, Shango, and M$M all hitting shelves right now. Worth a shot hitting Walmarts on the East Coast right now of you can |

Worth a shot hitting Walmarts on the East Coast right now of you can I don’t know how long ago I posted that but I found Flair months ago by me. Flair and Bray are all over the place here. The only ones I have yet to see are Mankind and Papa Shango. But thanks for the heads up. |

Not sure I’ve ever seen that designation before. Just checked some other items and it shows unknown as well. Has brickseek not been working? |

There’s things I can blame Mattel for, but I can’t blame them for how a retailer distributes their inventory between their stores. Thats fine mattel can kick the can down the road and do nothing. Then no one better complain when the line gets randomly cancelled. At some point mattel needs to take some accountability. If walmart is not gonna stock there own exclusives, why not give ringside or amazon a chance to order some product ? |

I really would love to know what Mattel can and can't do when it comes to exclusive lines. It feels painfully obvious that this line would be an overwhelming success on RSC, amazon, even Mattel Creations. If Mattel does have the autonomy to pull this as an exclusive, I'd agree that it seems kinda negligent at this moment not to do that. I'd think it's probably more likely though that there's some kind of contract that precludes them from doing that. |

Most Retailers ask for exclusives/customized programs in order to carry the main lines. Hypothetically "If We are going to carry your line, we are going to need something unique that compliments that line that's ONLY at our store." They want something special to bring in customers and garner interest away from other store, even if they are difficult for the consumer to find.

Ringside does not have the warehouse capacity or overall mainstream presence in the marketplace to support a mass produced continuous line with multiple figures per wave. I don’t know why people keep suggesting they take on these types of exclusives. There’s a reason why they only have 1 exclusive every 3 months or so in limited quantities.

I'd think it's probably more likely though that there's some kind of contract that precludes them from doing that. Honestly I don't think Mattel has much say in anything beyond what is made when it comes to exclusive lines. From what I understand the retailer is basically paying Mattel to make them an exclusive line to sell in their stores. Mattel gets paid by said retailer, creates the product & ships it to them. Once it leaves Mattel's warehouses they pretty much wash their hands of the deal and have little to no say in what happens to the product. If that retailer decides not to stock the product that's their fault, Mattel isn't going to force them to do so. And I'm pretty sure the only way places like Ringside get their hands on other retailers exclusives is when that retailer doesn't take shipment of the entire wave, then Mattel liquidates the remaining product to places like Ringside and other smaller businesses just to get rid of it. Honestly for Mattel that is probably the best case scenario because not only would they have gotten money from the original retailer the product was made for, but they got additional revenue from Ringside or the other business who bought out the remaining inventory. And trust me as frustrating as this is for us collectors Mattel isn't going to stop making exclusive lines for the Targets, Walmarts or Amazons of the world because of bad distribution. They would lose out on tons of money from not only the exclusive lines, but the possible cut back of other Mattel products the store carries. |

I think a better way to solve this issue would be to have company reps just like grocery stores and other companies use. They visit stores in thier area to monitor sales, stock and distribution. If they monitor stores that always have empty shelves due to poor distribution or poor management or full of shelf warmers restricting the ability to display newer stock they can work better with the stores and companies to fix those problems. |

My store just got a restock of wave 3. Tons of Dibiase, Shango, and Mankind. A whole peg full of Taker, too.
